Wondering what that was like with Havasu down a bit.
That can be a dicey ramp.

A nasty ramp on the very south end of the lake. I sucked rocks one year at low water just getting my Carrera off the trailer... and the fenders of the trailer we submerged :mad:
BTW: I turned down 2 full price offers on the Chaparral yesterday. Can you believe it? I think I might just put it in the garage until my back settles down. Friggin' boats make you Schizophrenic..no they don't..yes they do.. :D

I know that when they improved it last winter that the work was done with the water at about 445' or maybe a little lower so the ramp should be pretty long. It is a challenging ramp for anyone not good at backing up especially in a 28 footer and I would assume at least positraction or 4 whl dr because it is steep. I would not try it with my boat or truck (Tundra) as I'm sure it would not be up to the task. Hope this helps NSF

The Springs...Yeah that might be the ticket. My back surely can't handle a bad ramp episode. Actually we should just go watch the race on Saturday and leave the boat home. :(

Go to Cattail Cove. We just went there last weekend and it was fine. Nice quiet family oriented and close to Phoenix.

Hey, it looks from the weather report here in Phoenix that the river is going to howl all weekend with that low bearing down, what are they saying at the river? Wind I bet?
